VapiCon 2025: Foundations of Voice AI with Kwindla Kramer, Anoop Dawar, Dr Alberto Montilla & more

Описание: At VapiCon 2025, infrastructure leaders discuss what it takes to build production-ready voice AI systems. Kwindla Kramer from Daily, Anoop Dawar from Deepgram, Alberto Montilla from Twilio, and Paige Bailey from Google DeepMind break down the most underestimated building blocks—from end-to-end observability to conversation design itself. The panel reveals critical insights on latency thresholds and measurement, why general benchmarks fail for domain-specific use cases, and why no model provider delivers five 9's reliability yet. They share practical advice including how to measure latency correctly using audio waveforms and why builders must design for graceful failover across providers.

💡 Topics Covered:
Underestimated building blocks in voice AI
Latency thresholds and measurement techniques
Domain-specific benchmarking and eval design
Scaling POCs to production systems
Developer understanding vs abstraction tradeoffs
Graceful failover and production reliability strategies
